As f80bf57, if someone tries to deploy Archiveamtica using the deploy-pub/playbooks/archivematica it's unclear for a newcomer if stable or qa branches are being deployed. This just beat @mcantelon which is a sign that we're doing a poor job explaining it.
I suggest to have two environments:
deploy-pub/playbooks/archivematica
deploy-pub/playbooks/archivematica-qa
Or we could do a better job in the README file explaning how to download the right branch of the AM role (e.g. qa/1.7.x branch targets AM 1.7 and so on) and the right vars file.
